Gilbert - Castle Bentheim (part 2)

I found another cannon!

It had an angry swan on it!

I enjoyed the view from the wall.

Another view from above.

They had some really old books. This was a book with hymns and was from the 15th century.

This bible was also from the 15th century.

This book with insect drawings was my favorite, but the sign didn't say how old it was.

There was an art show in the castle as well, with this painting of the castle by Jacob van Ruisdael as the main attraction. Jacob van Ruisdael was a famous Dutch painter.

Not sure if I like this one or if I think it's creepy.

Another painting that's a bit creepy as well.

Next we went to the main building.


I thing this castle is very cool!


Next: yet more castle spam.
